The author covers a wide range ofExcellent book, and oh so very timely right now, with all the religious conservative crap going on here in the USA. The author covers a wide range of information covering how religion poisons sex, and yet the hypocrisy that religious people are having sex, because it's natural, and then feel guilty and dirty about it, which makes a gradually more vicious cycle as they repeat it.

An easy, fascinating read, covers the basic screwed up religions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, as well as touches on Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism.

I'd rank it right up there with Rites of Pleasure by Jennifer Hunter. It's funny yet serious in the aspect of helping women change their views on themselves, their bodies and their sexuality. Gives 7 chapters, or ideas for a woman to do that helps her, literally, get back in touch with her body. The book is written with the right touch of humor and seriousness, and is tastefully done. I borrowed from a friend, and fully intend on getting to add to my personal library.

Wow! An eerie, almost prescient read, especially with the way US society and politics has been going right now.

Women are only useful if they can breeWow! An eerie, almost prescient read, especially with the way US society and politics has been going right now.

Women are only useful if they can breed. Due to major environmental issues, along the lines of nuclear, radioactivity, and a lessening of governmental restrictions on chemicals and such that harm us and our environment, most of the US population is sterile. A takeover by Christian extremists has thrown everyone back into a glorified Christian empire, where women stay home, and the few remaining women who might be able to breed are "handmaiden's" to get babies on. And not well at that.

The book tends to ramble, like it's the main character just getting her thoughts down, rather than a biographer doing the work. It kind of just ends, uneventfully, with no real bang, but quite honestly, it's rather spooky because of it. A very powerful message. ...more

Covered Christian, Judaism, Muslim, and Hindu fundamentalism and the treatment of women, and then shifted into specific locations like Afghanistan. Each chapter was written by different women, and their views of how backassward's religion takes women to as a way to save itself. The men don't have to be treated this way, but the women get screwed over. It also covered how women are working to make changes within the strictures they are forced to deal with.

From open sexuality, homosexuality, to the restricted Church-version of sex for procreation ONLY, to devices to protect boys and men from nocturnal emissions because it was related to the Devil. A lot of info packed into this book.

Also wanted to add the book comes across as funnily sarcastic. Granted it might be my own thoughts coming through it, but I was literally laughing out loud with this book. ...more
